PARAMOUNT has released
the 2nd season of “I LOVE LUCY”. Lots of surprises are to be
revealed in this season, let alone, Lucy’s pregnancy. The writers ingeniously
worked her pregnancy into some of the funniest, most memorable episodes of
television history.
In one unforgettable
episode, “JOB SWITCHING”, the men and women switch jobs for an entire week. The
antics that ensue are hilarious, including the side-splitting candy factory
sequence! The premise was actually daring for its time.
As great as the “JOB
SWITCHING” episode is, there are many more unforgettable episodes in the 2nd
season, making it one of, if not the best seasons from the series. There’s not a
mediocre episode in the bunch, and the last one, “NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH
FRIENDS” makes for one of the best season enders in television history.
Episodes include: Job
Switching/The Saxophone/The Anniversary Present/The Handcuffs/The
Operetta/Vacation From Marriage/The Courtroom/Redecorating/Ricky Loses His

PARAMOUNT has released
31 episodes on five discs, packaged in slim cases enclosed in a slipcase.
PARAMOUNT has
presented a wonderful black&white transfer for this release. The image is
sharp, with excellent contrast and fine detail in every scene. Grain is
minimal.
PARAMOUNT has
presented a 2 channel mix in monaural sound. While there’s some minimal hiss in
spots, it’s a fine presentation overall. Fidelity is limited due to its age.
Dialogue is always intelligible and free from distortion.
PARAMOUNT has included
some great extras here. In addition to guest cast biographies, there are the
original openings, restoration demonstrations and more!
THIS IS A MUST HAVE IN
EVERY DVD COLLECTION!!!
